Every moment of the night
The photos the birthday girl will show her own kids someday — from every phone, in one place.
The cake & candles
Everyone has their phone out for the cake moment — the singing, the candles, the first slice. Now every camera angle ends up in one gallery instead of disappearing into separate chat threads.
The birthday girl portraits
The beautiful entrance, the tiara, the dress photos, the best-friends portraits. Guests with better cameras or steadier hands get those shots into the shared gallery too.
Dancing & celebrations
The group dances, the silly moments, the ones where everyone forgot cameras were rolling. The candid shots that capture the real joy of the night — not just the posed ones.
Gifts, decorations & setup
The beautifully styled venue, the balloon arch, the gift-opening moments. The setup photos that show how much love went into planning the day.
Set up in 30 seconds
Create the Sweet 16 gallery
Enter the birthday girl's name, the party date, and a fun welcome message. Done in 30 seconds — set it up a few days before so the link is ready to share with guests.
Share the link or QR code
Drop the link in the friend group chat before the party. Print the QR code for the venue entrance or tables. Text it individually to family members who might need a nudge.
Guests upload all night
Every candid, every portrait, every dance floor moment — uploaded from every phone into one gallery as the celebration unfolds. No chasing anyone for photos afterwards.
Give it as a gift
Download the complete gallery after the party. Every photo from every guest in one ZIP — ready to turn into a photo book, a framed print, or a digital keepsake the birthday girl will treasure.
Everything a Sweet 16 needs
One QR code for everyone
Display the QR code on a table card or welcome sign. Share the link in the friend group chat before the party. Guests scan with their camera app — no download, no account, no friction.
A birthday present worth keeping
Download the complete gallery after the party as a ZIP. Create a printed photo book, a framed collage, or a digital album. A gift the birthday girl will look back on for the rest of her life.
Live slideshow at the party
Open the slideshow on a TV or laptop at the venue. As guests upload, photos appear in real time on the big screen — a self-building highlight reel that keeps the energy going.
Works for grandparents too
Older relatives with non-smartphone cameras, younger cousins with iPhones — the QR code opens a webpage. If they can use their camera, they can upload. No tech barriers.
Birthday wishes alongside photos
Guests can leave a message with their photo — a birthday wish, a memory, a heartfelt note. A digital guestbook that builds itself through the night.
Private — just the guest list
Only guests with your specific link can view or upload. No public profiles, no strangers finding the birthday photos. The memories stay exactly where they belong.
Every photo in original quality
No WhatsApp compression, no quality loss. Every photo exactly as it was taken. Download once and you have everything — including the shots the birthday girl never knew were being captured.
React to the best moments
Guests can heart their favorite photos. Sort by most-liked to find the crowd-pleasers — perfect for the photo book, the frame on the wall, or the social post.
Parents and planners love PartyLab
“I collected 280 photos from my daughter's Sweet 16 — including shots I had absolutely no idea were being taken. She cried when she saw the gallery. Best $19 I ever spent.”
“The live slideshow on the TV at the party was a massive hit. Photos from 30 minutes ago were already showing up on the screen. The guests loved seeing themselves in real time.”
“I turned the gallery into a photo book for her birthday. She said it was the most thoughtful present she got. And I didn't even have to chase anyone for photos — they just appeared.”

Common questions
Can I set up the gallery before the party?
Yes. Create the event in advance and share the link in the friend group chat before the day. Guests can upload from the pre-party, arrival photos, and throughout the celebration — all in one place.
How many guests can upload?
Unlimited guests can access the gallery and upload. Only the number of photos is limited on the Free plan (up to 30). For a Sweet 16 with 20+ guests, the Event plan ($19 one-time) removes all limits.
Can guests upload videos as well as photos?
Yes. Guests can upload both photos and short video clips — the cake moment, the group dance, the speeches. All in one gallery, not scattered across phones and group chats.
What if some guests don't have smartphones?
Any smartphone with a camera app can scan the QR code — no app download, no account. For guests without smartphones, photos can be added manually by the host after the event.
Is the gallery private?
Yes. Only people with your specific link can view or upload. There are no public listings, no profiles, no way for strangers to find the event. You control who gets the link.
How do I turn the photos into a birthday gift?
After the party, download the full gallery as a ZIP (Event plan). Use the photos to create a printed photo book, design a framed collage, or compile a digital album. The gallery itself stays accessible for 12 months.
What if guests upload photos the next day?
The upload window stays open according to the duration you set — up to 6 months on the Event plan. Late uploaders, guests who forgot on the night, and friends who weren't at every moment can still add their photos.
What's included in the $19 Event plan?
Unlimited photos and videos, a 6-month upload window, 12-month gallery access, ZIP download in original quality, live slideshow, guest messages, and reactions. One payment — no subscription.
